The health ministry says the tolls cover 12 areas in the Bekaa Valley where terrorist group Hezbollah holds sway. At least two children are among the dead, it says.
At least 58 others were wounded, the health ministry adds, noting that the toll is preliminary as rescue efforts are still underway.
Of the 60 killed, at least 16 deaths were recorded in Al-Alaq, west of Baalbek city, according to the health ministry.
